Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chow Mein Noodles
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 cup Carrots
  • 1 cup Cabbage
  • 1 cup Bell Peppers
  • 1/2 cup Onion
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Ginger
  • 1 clove Garlic

Instructions

  1. 1Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the 1 lb of Chow Mein Noodles and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but still have a slight chew. Drain the 1 lb of Chow Mein Noodles well in a colander and set them aside.
  2. 2In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp of Soy Sauce, 1 tsp of Sesame Oil, 1 tbsp of Rice Vinegar, 1 tsp of Sugar, 1 tsp of minced Ginger, and 1 clove of minced Garlic. Stir these ingredients together with a fork or whisk until the 1 tsp of Sugar is fully dissolved.
  3. 3Place a large wok or a large 12-inch skillet on the stove. Add 2 tbsp of Vegetable Oil and heat over medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C), until the oil shimmers slightly.
  4. 4Add the 1 cup of thinly sliced Carrots, 1 cup of thinly sliced Cabbage, 1 cup of thinly sliced Bell Peppers, and 1/2 cup of thinly sliced Onion to the hot oil. Stir-fry constantly for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain a crisp texture.
  5. 5Add the cooked 1 lb of Chow Mein Noodles to the pan with the stir-fried vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the noodles and vegetables.
  6. 6Continue to stir-fry all ingredients together for another 2-3 minutes, tossing constantly, until the noodles and vegetables are thoroughly coated with the sauce and heated through. Serve immediately.
